Seidio today begins shipping its popular OBEX case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. A simplified design offers the highest level of protection against daily wear-and-tear and even the most extreme environments. By keeping external elements like snow, dirt, and rain out, the smartphone stays true to its original, immaculate form. Here's more info:

There are no loose pieces so losing a critical rubber stopper will never be an issue as it is with some other cases on the market. An easy-to-install, two-part design allows for quick installation, so you're ready for your next adventure anytime, anywhere. The rugged quality is attributed to the superior materials used to develop the OBEX. Additionally, below you will find an impressive list of OBEX features:

Waterproof and Drop-proof: The OBEX can withstand rough and wet environments because of the extensive research, development, and testing completed to ensure it surpasses the highest standards. It exceeded the MIL-STD-810F test which guarantees it can survive drops up to six feet, and it is stamped with an IP68 rating, signifying the case can be submerged in 2 meters of water for up to 30 minutes without damaging the Galaxy Note 3.

Protection at Ports: Built-in soft rubber stoppers keep dust and liquids out of the headphone, USB, and S PenTM ports while still allowing easy access when you need it.

Anti-Reflection Glass: This protects the camera lens without interfering with photo quality so you can document your outdoor excursions and trips with beautiful, clear images.

Despite its rugged exterior, the OBEX will not interfere with radio signals, Bluetooth, or Near Field Communication (NFC). It is available in two color combinations: black with red, and black with gray.

The OBEX is available for $79.95 (case only). You can also purchase the combo (case and holster) for $89.95 at www.seidioonline.com
